I love the time worn Midland Red paintwork and the gorgeous texture of the radiator.

This company built nearly all of their own busses over a very long time span and kept huge maintenance garages in most Midland towns. This is a beautiful image in and of itself but it's sad to see the ravages of time.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thank you for your views and complementary comments.
When I was College Student in 1963 one of the Engineering Lecturers organised a trip to the Birmingham BMMO Factory, that manufactured the buses. Those were the days when we had our own engineering.
Friendly Regards
Graham
